When the fans realize someday this sport is run like a circus because the parent company founder is literally fucking Ringling Bros, you'll all start to be happier. But be nice to Ken guys, his net worth is ONLY $2.5 billion, and he needs to send another $10 million to Boston U, $1 million to FSU for their LITERAL clown college, and then god fucking knows how much he sends to Israel. https://www.forbes.com/profile/kenneth-feld/

Jake may not be wrong, but RV did win races with factory Kawi as a 450 rookie in 2009, won races in 2010, got with Aldon and got in shape and won 4 straight SX titles and the 2 outdoors championships that he completed with Kawi “not letting RV veer too far off their settings”. That seemed to work pretty well for them. The bike could’ve been better, but all those bikes around that time period could’ve been from the Honda, yamaha, ktm, and suzuki. Jake also got to train with Aldon by being teammates with RV, and I think...

RV would win on a lawn mower back than. Listening to him and Carmichael talk about shit bikes they still managed titles with. Justt shows you can win without being a princess

Don’t know why you’re getting shot down with the down-voters…? What you’re posting is absolute truth. I’ve even seen riders start picking their next team awfully damn early due to this phenomenon. Here’s a reality check that I know to be true… Both Jake and Dan are telling their side of the story honestly and truly…from their perspective. I’m betting no-one will believe Dan has even stepped outside the “corporate rules” to try to…carefully…help his riders. Well, it’s true. He has. Personally…with my own eyes…been there, seen that. From “More Power!” for one Champ to “More Feel” for another. The...

this is going to go sideways for two reasons, 1,most wont listen to the entire interview 2, people just want to hate, mainly this

Did you even listen to it? Jesus fuck man.

Money , money like lack of it and payouts are shit.

It’s just one dealership, Star Chevrolet in Wiggins. I live right up the road from it. Honestly, if you’re not paying attention when you drive by, you’d probably miss it. It just looks like a small-town dealership. They used to do a race report on the local radio the following week, I'm not sure why they stopped, but they still run radio ads. It’s actually a running joke in my family that when they win someone says “1-800 S-T-A-R B-U-Y.”

A rider with a supercross championship, 17 supercross wins and 23 podiums coming into a season on a new bike that many have been critical of, they’re going to get looked at. Now when they come into that new season and only have 1 podium (the win) so far, it’s going to raise a bunch of questions. If the only thing Chase changed is teams, it’s pretty obvious it’s the bike. It’s not just us, there have been a few media guys questioning if this is the right move.

I think at this point, there would be arguments about the size and placement of the button. It isnt that he isnt winning, its how far off he is when he isnt. Hunter Lawrence isnt winning, and never has.

Interesting. I definitely see where you're coming from, and do agree that the timetable of finding success with that team is past this year alone if it comes. If Chase has incompatibility with that many bikes and Kawasaki only fits a certain type of rider I think that says something about both of them right now that might be worth examining lol. I do think they can do it though. Timetable might not be a ways out but they're sorta outta excuses so it's a figure it out or implode situation. I actually think him not hitting that table top...

Kawi just needs a mentally stable rider at this point lmao. Chase hasn’t been comfortable on any bike yet and has been pretty vocal about his dislikes on every machine. Prado, I mean we don’t even need to beat that horse anymore. Prado looks amazing now, but the guy also spent his entire professional career on Austrian bikes, so him not gelling with the kawi and not even trying to get there makes sense. Anderson did fine on the kawi and so did many other riders. Having said that, this is making kawi look very very bad. Maybe Chase wasn’t...

You sign a contract, you win on the bike, the money is good. You stay put!

I’m not independently wealthy, so my perspective might be different than yours. If I had the opportunity to do something for three years that would allow me to never have to think about money for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t walk away from it.

He will win a championship for Kawasaki before the end of his contract
